Hello Propheteers far and wide!
I bet you've all wondered what's happened to me. Well, a funny
thing happened in my life this year. I retired from fulltime work,
and damned if I'm not busier than ever.

I made a long trip to Australia this summer, during June. And as
you all probably know, June or early July is when "The Prophet's
Birthday Greeting to the Masses" comes out....or usually comes out.
Well, let's just say that I fell into a big hole somewhere south of
the international date line on my trip. Here it is August and I
haven't gotten a birthday greeting out yet.

Trust me on two counts...
(1) It WILL eventually come and
(2) It'll suck as usual

Anyway, I still plan on writing Prophet this year, so you'll be
getting my weekly nonsense in your email box starting very soon.
Please spread the word among the unchurched, letting them know of
this sick little thing we're all doing together here. I'd love to
have some more victims/subscribers.

All right, I guess I'd better go work on the birthday greeting a bit
more. I wonder if I can avoid getting old if I just refuse to write
birthday greetings each year.

See you soon!
The Prophet
